01.12.23 -- Vital Role Of Research Nurses In DCTs

Explore why mobile research nurses make a critical difference in decentralized trials, whether employed exclusively or in conjunction with the latest technology.

Are we now at a turning point where talk about increasing diversity and inclusiveness translates into action where real change occurs? Discover how DCTs can help to recruit and retain more diverse patient populations.

Before COVID-19, the incorporation of DCT methods into clinical studies was not the norm. Studies that depended on participants visiting sites for all treatment and testing found themselves scrambling for solutions. Explore why today the clinical trials industry is shifting even further toward the routine incorporation of home visits into their studies.

Protocol deviations can occur in clinical trials conducted at traditional sites as well as in those that employ decentralized clinical trial methods. Find out how mobile research nurses can play a critical role in minimizing these deviations.

Social determinants of health — defined by the CDC as conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, and play — are among the reasons for low participation in clinical trials among minority communities. This is an area in which home research nurses can make a significant positive impact.
